FAT STOCK WILL
HAVE WHOLE SHOW
Dairy and Breeding Animals
Eliminated From Portland
Exhibition Next Week.
MANY ENTRIES RECEIVED
Auction Sales to Be Feature Again
and Nearly All Prizewinners
Will Be Offered Railroads
Make Special Rates.
Livestock breeders, livestock owners
and livestock patrons will have their
inning- next week.
The third annual show of the Pacific
International Livestock Association
will be held at the Portland Union
Stockyards for six days. beginning
Monday, December 9, and continuing
until Saturday, December 12.
On account of the prevalence of
foot and mouth disease in other parts
of the country, the exhibition of all
breeding stock will be eliminated. But
there will be a sufficient display of fat
stock to make the show complete.
In fact, many of the big livestock
centers prefer to exhibit the fat stock
separately and to hold an independent
exposition for the breeding and dairy
stock. The Portland show managers
heretofore have shown their breeding
stock, dairy stock and fat stock In the
same week, and had Intended to do
likewise this year. Although the
foot and mouth disease has not spread
to this part of the country, the elim
ination of breeding animals was con
sidered advisable as a precautionary
measure.
Exhibitors to Be Many.
Advance entries already received in
dicate that the presentation of all
classes of fat hogs, sheep and cattle
will exceed in volume and quality, per
haps, the exhibitions of previous
years. The show will draw exhibitors

including Arizona,. California, Nevada,
Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington and
Oregon. Additional accommodations
already are being built at the yards
for these animals.

of Holsteira cattle Friday and Satur
day, December 11 and 12. He has about
200 head.
Guy Harvey expects to conduct a
combination hog sale Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of show week. He
will sell about 200 head.
Prize Stocks to Be Sold.
Virtually all the prize-winning stock
will be sold at a big auction sale Sat
urday, December 9. It is probable that
several small herds of varlotis inde
pendent exhibitors also will be dis
posed of within the week.
J. Clise, of Seattle, is president, and
O. M. Plummer, of Portland, vice-president
of the association. Presidents of
the various railroads operating in the
Northwest and various influential
patrons of the livestock Industry are
vice-presidents of the association. W.

A. M., Soya Promoters Sail Under
False Colors.
Promoters of the "American Ma
sonic Federation." are again active in
Portland, according to reports which
have reached officers of the Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons, the organi
zation which has disclaimed connec
tion with the "Federation."
An employe of a store here was ap
proached by one of the promoters
three weeks ago, the organizer offer
ing to enroll the employe in the "Ma
sonic Federation." It Is asserted that
the promoter urged acceptance of his
proposal, holding out to the employe
as an Inducement, that he could read
ily gain in a business way by joining
the organization. The employe re
ports that he paid $35 to the promoter.
One of the store's managers learned
of the transaction and informed the
employe of the alleged imposition. He
also procured a refund of the 135.
"The Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons Is an organization as old as
civilization itself," said James F. Rob
inson, grand secretary of the local
Masonic lodges, "and the promoters of
this 'American Masonic Federation'
are attempting to sail under false col
ors, attempting to impress, or give the
M: . I
1 r .
. Ml ' V v
Impression, with their victims that
their lodge Is the real Masonic order.
"Everything went fine for them and
they were rolling in wealth until our
lodge interfered, the Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons objecting to having
their order held responsible for the
frauds perpetrated ,by the promoters
of the fake order. ' The Ancient Froe
and Accepted Masons wish again to
warn the public against having any
thing to do with these promoters."

to a report issued yesterday by City
Treasurer Adams.
From November 1 to November 26,
1913. there was a total of 1200,541.07

931,800 more in November of this year
than in November. 1913. It was feared,
prior to November L that difficulty
would be experienced in getting in the
increased amount. But. contrary to ex
pectations, the total collections were
$246,666.60. or $14,325.13 more than was
needed by the city to meet its own
Interest and redemption obligations.
